Yes. Your sister can file a "Declination" and the petition to have the will allowed can list you as the executor. The attorney handling the estate will know how to file the proper documents so that you can be appointed.

Can the executor of a will refuse the responsibility and choice someone else as executor if the will named a second person if the first declined?
Generally, the first named executor cannot choose his/her substitute if the will names an alternate executor. We follow the decedent's wishes, not the executor's. The one exception could be if the will itself gives the executor the power to name a successor, which is pretty rare. Further, if the alternate executor has died or also refuses to act as the executor, the first named executor still has no power to choose a successor. Normally, in that situation, the person to handle the estate is chosen from among the residuary legatees, since they have the greatest interest in seeing the estate administered.
